DE. ItOBERTOY. The following account respeaing the charge 'against this Gentleman is extracted from . a Morning • - paper We are are concerned to announce that this Gentle man, whose name had been kept a secret for some weeks, .was, on Minday, the 27th of last month, cumulated fir trial by the Magistrates of a Mice. Office, -CM the very serious charge of having pro cured premature labour, by instruments, on a yOung woman who had been for some time living with him. The folloWing are the outlines of the charge ag . serts that Dr. - seduced her ; • that she soon - became pregnant by him ; that after she became pregnant about loth- months, he pro posed to produce abortion by the application of certain surgical instruments, which he stated .would not produce so much pain as she suffered by a day's sickness. She at length consented to submit to the nperation. He made two or three ineffectual attetripts at her own house, in the absence of her mother. Not succeeding to his wish, he desired her to wait' on him at the barracks, where she went in the evening. He then made another surgical at tempt. She continued to experience great pain till she was delivered, which was in two days after -wards. , Her mother stated; that in consequence of the cries of her daughter, she for Ced open the door, of her chamber, and on entering, found the Doctor on his knees, with both hands under the clothes of the bed, in which her daughter was lying on her side, apparently in . great pain. "He atterwards wrapped up his pocket-handkerchief, and put it into—his pocket. The Do for soon left Ipswich, to settle in London, and_ her mind being very uneasy, Miss L. determined totake - up her residence near trim. She became pregnant by him a second time, and between the fourth and fitth Month, _ the same means were resorted to, to procure an abortion. Dr. Reece was requested to attend her first exa mination before the Magistrates. Doctor 11-- declared the accusation to be false. :fire young Lady, during her different examinations conducted ber;‘elt with great propriety. In her :rocs-exami nation there was nothing like prevarication. She is is the daughter of a Captain, and has two brothers Lieutenants in tbr navy. _ Upon the .charge against him, Dr. Roberton was admitted to bail but not being willing to. stanet trial, he lately absconded. It appears that he sail ed float Gravesend on. board the Pacific. listung boat, with a Captain Barnett, on Saturddy. or Sun day last, under the assumed natrat of James Bishop.? The Doctor is about thirty-six years ~f age, ai.d was 14:ely a Surgeon in the Middlesex Militia; he is a Member, we are sorry to say, of the Royal College of Physicians, a Lecturer' on Midwifery, and Phy s►cian to a publicinstitution at the west coo of the metropolis. The charge preferred against the Doc tor is felony, and subject to the nizhest punishment, except a capital one. SPORTING ENTk.L.LIGE,NCE. PONTEFIZACT MEEXJNG, TUSSDAY, skrr. 11.

One of the German Papers which reached us yes(- rerday, contains the, following article respecting the last moments of the late Queen of Prussia. The important part this Princess stistained iu the poli tics of Europe, the vicissitud es of fortune yvhicti she experienced, and the heroic fortitude with which she encountered them, .give interest to every thing relating to her history. ZORLIN, AUG. 20. " The King w:is at Charlott e uburg whe n h e r e • ceived intelligence -of the alarming symptoms which the Queen's disorder had assumed, and he imme diately set off for. Hohenzjeritz, accompanied her his two sons, the Hereditary Prince, and Prince Wil liam ; he arrived at fire o'clock in the morning, and the Queen, who in the expeelatton of his approach, rallied her almost 'exhausted faculties, received him with a degree of tenderness and sensibility which dissolved every heart in,tears; her reception of her children was equally aff.t&ing ; the King was com pelled to retire to give vent to his afflictions ; as soon as lie could cone& himself, he retdrned to the apart ment, and all the attendants retired. " In about half an hour, the queen was seized_ with violent spasms in her breast ; when the ,ding called in the physicians, who attended in an adjoin ing chamber, the violence of the cramp subsided, but her oppressions increased ; and it was now that she, became aware of her approaching dissolution. She desired the opinion of one of her physicians, conjuring him.to be candid in his reporr; he an swered, that that very moment was the crisis of her fate, and that should she survive it, he doubted not of amendment. She appeared at once resigned and comforted---hut the hour of death was'iome—an other cramp seized her, when, with uplifted eyes; she exclaimed, " Oh my God, my God, do riot for sake me !" and soon after, " Jesus shorten my suf ferings !"--The prayer was heard, and the breath which gave it utterance was her last. Her hands were locked irr those of her husband's, acid her dis solution', though sodden, was apparently less pain ful than trom the nature of her disorder, was apple ' bended.—About ari hour after her death, two More of her children, Princess Charlottee and Prince Charles,, arrived. The King met them in the Palace-yard, and bathing them with his tears, com 7 municated to them th: loss they had sustained. Toe Pr;ncess of-Orange and the Princess of klesse, sis'ers to his Majesty, arrived during the day from Berlin, and Hohenzieriti became a scene of general lane , Cation. On 9pening the body it appeared that Cie'seeds 01 death had been for several years strug gling WI maturity. The funeral procession was in the highest de gree impressive and magnificent. Mr. Maud, the Manager of the Berlin Theatre, had, by permission, pkiccd fifty choristers at the Brandenburgh gate, who sang the choral, Jesus my confidence,' &c. Before the Royal Palace were likewise fifty Choris ters, who sung the choral, How fleeting is the time of man.' And all the Members of the National Theatre were assembled in the Portico, where, un der the diredion- of Mr. Weber, dire&or of - the Royal Chapel, they sung the choral, 0 how bless ed are ye pious,' &c.; while, as the royal hearse entered tl,. ;ate, discharges of artillery and the dis mal sound of thu knell, rnatked the procession." SiMPFORD GHOST, The Taunton Courier has commenced its promised developement of the mysteries of the Sampford Ghost, by a history of the haunted premises, which formerly belonged to a Mrs. Bellamy, a dealer in al most everyarticle of food and raiment, and theywere known to contain convenient receptacles for smug gled goods. On the de.ath u.f Mrs. B. the property devolved to her daughter, who dying, left two female children, one of whom married a Mr. Jennings, now resident in London, and the Other died a short time ago, having previously married a Mr. Talley, a farmer, who resides half a mile from Tiverton. Upon the death of their mother,' the respetaive husbands of Mrs. Talky and Mrs. Jennings became each of them entitled to a muiety of the premises, in right of their i.vives, The premises „remained unoccupied 'some time, and until Mr. Chave agreed to take them et a rent of 201. per annum, on 'condition of their being put in repair.—Those repairs were ordered, by Mr. Talky; and consisted of a variety of carpenters and maim's work, the expellee of which, on behalf of ..himself and Mr. Jennings, he engaged to pay. , Bat the painter's bill coming to a much larger sum titan one of the proprietors approved, he resisted the pay , ment ; and Mr. Talley, the• owner of the Other moiety, to avoid litigation on so trivial an account, .signified ,to Chave that he would pay the bill, ob serving, at the 'same time, that they (meaning him self and Mr. Jennings) "'must right themselves an-, other way." Chave replied, " I suppose you mean -I must turn out." " That," says the other, " de pends on Mr. Jennings, to whom I shall write, ac quainting him with what has taken place." It was during the delay occasioned by this corres pondence, and not before, that the strange-visitations at Samplord, which have fevered the brains of the country people; first transpired. After this the violence and frequency of the ghostly trisitings became considerabiy ag;rai.'ated. The servants were night after night slapped, }inched and buffeted ; the bed was more than oi,ce stuck full of pins; loud and repeated knockings were heard in all the upper rooms ; the houSe shook ; the windows rattled in their casements, and all the horrors of the horrific romance were accumulated in this devoted habitation. The vassals of witch- craft awoke froM their slumbers; -the Prince of, Darkness held his Court - at Sampford; thousands assembled io pay him homage; and the tail of his Satanic Majesty became dignified with a tassel of very imposing etfeat. ' But Mr. Talley, who is a most respeetable farmer, arid in possession of a considerable share of good sense, intimated to - Mr. Chave his intention of re maining in the premises one night; and ce cupied them him . seif more than two years, as ac quainted with every -concealed passage and' secret recess in the dwelling. • [Here, on account of a press of temporary Adveitisements pouring in upon the Editor, he was obtcge d to break 0..• pro iniSinK to elucidate the whole znystzry moat satisf.totori:y to t he pumiic tibia 'week.] THEXTII ES.

" LADIES AND GANTLEMINt " Thes.:cond or the trlitish Opera will close with the pert - brain - Lees of the evening. That the Propri:cor,i,,, v spared neither labour nor expellee to render the aIIiUSCILICIIrS of this Theatre worthy Of your patronage. must oe tittiy ac ktiowle:iged by the applause with which you have honoured their exertions, and the novelty they have piesentecito you (luting a very short and limitcdvason.

" This, Ladies and Gentlemen, has been done to fulfil those promises held ((nth at the close of last season, —• That every eXeltiOn shoi,ld be made to render the Engii-i• Opera worthy the protection of the English Nation.' • You have honoured those exertions with your applause, and. the propt.,etors are sal istit.d and grateful. - - - - - one particular which relates to the English Opera, I wish to be clearly and distinctly undastood. it is the desire of the Proprietors to emulate and excel, not injure any other establishment of the same form; while they thus can:lntl., declare their intention), they respectfully solicit your future support. - `,..A National Institution 'which holds forth promis:s of protection, reward, and encouragement to the National Ta lent must be fully supported by a ational Feeling ; and if a tithe-pail of that patronage which is bestowed on a loreqn establishment by the wealthy part of this pioud and happy Country should ever be extended to our native Opera, than is there every fair promise that Englishtalent shall not equal belt excel that, which at so enormous an expence is yearly imported front a foreign laud. Satisfied with the enciauragement which your liberality has bestowed on the exertions already matt., the Proprietur, pledge themselves to continue those exertions, and that no expence shall be spared to procure awl cherish talent wher ever it may be bound; and they have no doubt but that, whae honourable emulation shall prevail, and where a sire to please is seen by you to exist in Proprietors as well as Performers, your future encouragement will be such as to make the English Operas National Ornament. "In the natne - of the Proprietors, Ladies and Gentlemen, and of the Perfinmers,,who individually have requested me to return their sincere thanks tor the kind attention and ail plapse with which you have honoured their labours, 1 re spettfully bid you farewell." We are glad to learn that the veteran DIBDIN has written and composed a new Opera, which has been accepted by the Covent-Garden Managers.— Tue public are so much indebted to this writer for the admirable lyric effusions of his muse, and hi.: popular melodies, that every liberal and patriotic mind must feel an interest in his success. Don JOSEPH, amidst all his feats of being stizei by the people. whose. country he is endeavouring to bring under the yoke of the French Usurper, could; not forget the predatory ! system of his family, but gave orders for packing up the tapestry and every thing movable.
